If the extensions tool has been disabled or the coursework is not available in Myplace, please refer to your course handbook for guidance. |
When can I apply for an extension?
Extension requests will normally be made in advance of a coursework submission deadline. In exceptional cases, students may apply for an extension retrospectively. Students are encouraged to communicate to staff any circumstances that are negatively impacting their studies as early as possible.

Guidance on circumstances which may be grounds for an extension can be found in the Policy and Procedure on Extensions to Coursework Submission. However, the list in the document does not try to cover every possible scenario - it simply provides examples. Students should not be discouraged from submitting a request if they do not see their situation described. |

Cancelling an
extensionsextension request
If you submit an extension request and decide that you no longer require it, you can cancel the request up until the point at which it is approved. HOW??
After it has been approved, you cannot cancel the request but you can, of course, submit the work in time for the original deadline.
